Topical Essential Questions
1. What is the relationship between energy and matter?
- Matter needs energy to perform different functions
- Energy can be used to transfer matter
- Matter stores energy
- Potential Energy, Kinetic Particle Energy

2. How is energy significant to biological system?
- Carry out life processes
- Respiration, Eating, Typing. Everything!

3. Can an organism survive without the exchange of matter with it environment?
- Nope
- Respiration, Photosynthesis, All life processes!

4. Are all matters living and all living organisms made of matter?
- yupp

5. Can living organisms create and destroy energy?
- Nooope
- Energy cannot be created or destroyed

6. Can living organisms create and destroy matter?
Nopeee

Respiration
- Its an energy-making process
- Like fire, the body needs oxygen and a fuel
- Oxygen and digested food travel through the human body
- End up in the same place
- Blood needs to carry oxygen and food for energy to be produced/released
- Also produces waste products
- Carbon Dioxide
- Needs to be removed
Cellular Respiration
- Aerobic respiration of glucose:
- C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H20 + Energy (ATP)
- The energy is released in the form of ATP
- Involves 3 metabolic stages:
- Glycolysis: Break down glucose (6-Carbon Molecule) into (3-Carbon) Molecule (Gain 2 ATP) (Glucose -> Pyruvate)
: Occurs in the cytoplasm
: Energy stored in food as glucose goes through glycolysis

: It can occur without oxygen (Not oxygen dependant) (Anaerobic respiration)

: ADP take one phosphate -> ATP

: 2ATP and 2NADH + @H+ are generated from this stage

: In cytosol/ cytoplasm
- The Krebs Cycle: Occurs in Inner membrane (Mitochondrial Matrix)
: Smaller energy-containing molecules goes through the Krebs Cycles

: Requires Oxygen to drive the next reaction

: ATP is produced

: One Pyruvate -> 1 cycle thus 1 molecule of glucose -> 2 cycle (2 times of ATP)

: Carbon Dioxide is given off

: 2FADH2 and 2ATP and 6NADH2 are formed -----> 4+2+12=18 ATP
- Electron Transport & Oxidative Phosphorylation: Hydrogen atom from Kreb Cycle
:
- ATP & FADH
- 2 Carriers: Electron carrier and H+ or proton carrier

Mitochondria
- Inner layer folded to increase surface area
- Inner chamber (Matrix)
- Energy transformer, transfered to ATP
- CO2 diffuses out
